At FEAR (Forget Everything And Run), you will join like-minded runners taking on distances from 5K, 10K, 15K, half marathon, heavy half marathon, full marathon, or ultra marathon. The event offers a six-hour cut-off for a 9 am start, or a four-hour option for an 11 am start.
The course is a 5.3K loop within Thetford Forest, creating a scenic and self-contained setting. A standard heavy half marathon is five laps, with the option to increase to six or seven, while a standard ultra marathon is nine laps, extendable up to twelve depending on time.
A water and aid station will be available at the lap point, so there is no need to carry large amounts of supplies. Parking is available at a discounted rate of £5 with a QR code. The event will be based near Oak Lodge, which will be used for registration and post-run refreshments, including tea, coffee, and cake.
All finishers will receive a bespoke medal, with a lucky dip option available where applicable. The course is mainly on pathways with a small section of trails and woodland, and road trainers are generally suitable, although trail shoes may be useful depending on conditions.
Please note that this is a cupless event, so bring your own bottles or cups for refilling. A portion of each entry fee goes towards the upkeep of the forest and woodland care.
